Wow, glad to see so much replies here and to think I almost forgot I started this thread.
Compaq, don't worry for "hijacking" my thread, actually I'm glad you did! Lumawak and discussion.
I'm learning so much from you guys, being a neo in videoke set ups.
To inform you guys, I just completed my humble set up and here it goes :
1) DAM 9000A mic mixing amplifier (by Yamaha) w DSP, 4ch x 80watts rms amp and lot of features. This is a pier surplus.
2) 1 pr. JBL 82T classic speakers (US).
3) 1 pr. Pioneer Videoke speakers with revolving "eye" tweeters (japan).
4) DVD player (generic)
5) PC monitor
6) Shure SM58 and Samson Q7 mics
7) Car amp and 1pc 12"Car subwoofer (to make it active, he..he..)
I must admit this is not a perfect set up but IMHO it serves my purpose well. I was really surprised by the performance of the DAM9000 amp. It performed beyond my expectations and can compare with separates very well. Its is also miles ahead of the sakura's and konzert amps with a (surprised!)... CHEAPER PRICE!!!
I recently used this on my daughters (there twins
) 7th bday with cheap microphones (haven't bought the shure & samson yet at the time) and a lot of my guest commented on how nice the sound is and they enjoyed singing (till 430am!).
Considering the low budget of my system, Im really satisfied with it. Thanks to all for your inputs.
